Captain Marvel The Captain Marvel box office prediction thread

[Iceman]

I would have liked to see 22 movies, $22B with an average of $1B per movie.

The MCU is slowly ticking up to that $1B average. It’s mainly the Phase 1 films that are massively dragging it down. TIH with $263m for eg takes a bit of making up.

Biggest opening weekend for a movie starring a cat

This is the one we all wanted, the one that matters. My kitties will be over the moon. They have been asking for representation and they got it with a bang. They have their own hero to look up to now.

Look at how much money my girl is making for the studio that trusted her less than the freaking Guardians of the Galaxy.

Screw you Marvel, the sequel better have a budget of at least $200 million, you penny-pinching bastards.

I don't think it'll get a $200 million budget, but I think it'll get $175-185 million. Black Panther 2 will probably get a $200 million budget though

 

[Web-Head]

Boom!

 

[Webfoot Hero]

That didn't take long. So much for the film being a flop. Looks like the boycotters will now have to move onto SW IX as their next film to target for their rage.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Don't think it has any shot at catching BP, but can catch IM3 at 1.2b if things break its way.

 

[Iceman]

The overseas numbers outside of China are looking very strong. We could be in for a good run. It's going to be massive by the end of next weekend (even if it drops hard).

 

[Naglfar]

Boom!

 

[Abudefduf]

I don't give a F about the budget, the budget doesn't make the or break the movie, the creative and marketing process does.

Well it's good to know that they spent more for the marketing than for the movie itself. And lol at "creative process". Seven people wrote this thing and yet it has one of most generic plots in the entire MCU. And the less said about the cheap sets and make-up, the better.

No thank you, I'll keep being mad at Marvel. Their treatment of Captain Marvel has legitimately made me less excited for the future of the MCU.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Watch Iron Man or Thor and then watch this movie again. This movie is far more expansive visually. Iron Man and Thor use the same like 5 sets for the whole movie.

Cosmic movie my ass, most of it takes place indoor. No thank you, I'll keep being mad at Marvel. Their treatment of Captain Marvel has legitimately made me less excited for the future of the MCU.

Cool, stay mad, your loss. The rest of us are gonna continue to be grateful and enjoy this wonderful universe Fiege and co have constructed, of which CM will now be a cornerstone of.

The first Thor movie is the one example of an MCU movie that I felt looked cheap and was negatively impacted by the limitations of what the studio could do at that time.

Especially the disposable small town in the desert, but there were basically three sets: the frost giant world, the town, and then Asgard. There was the throne room and Heimdall's chamber in Asgard, but anyway. Not of it was really very convincing from a visual standpoint.

It wasn't until the first Guardians movie that the MCU reached the point where the studio was able to do this kind of cosmic epic on a grand scale. The finale of this movie absolutely worked for me. Incredibly cool.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

At least the overall audience seems to love it. On to the next one!

What, you mean Setville USA looked cheap?

 

[Webfoot Hero]

On rare occasions have they broken the bank for an origin film/franchise starter (BP and GOTG) but for the most part, first films tend to start between $150-$180 million. Any bigger and they risk losing profitability should those films not open large enough.

 

[Abudefduf]

Well anyway, everyone look at this moron. Not Sonny Bunch, the guy he's replying to.


"Less than half of what was expected". Apparently Captain Marvel was expected to open bigger than any other movie ever, according to this incredibly smart person.

 

[Patrick77]

A bold statement, I know

If anything, that movie is a perfect example of how important the characters really are, it has so many obvious problems, Ebert disliked it so much that he declined to even review it. But it still basically worked because of Thor and Loki.

And now look at how much has been built on the foundation of those two characters.

1 bill opening weekend or fail. Everyone knows that.

 

[Iceman]

Love it

So does that mean IW was/is a failure? If so, I'm surprised Marvel went ahead with a sequel.

It means every MCU film was a failure and they have been losing hundreds of millions with each film. They are very slow learners though and bad at maths, but within a couple of years Disney will go bankrupt as a result of the accumulated losses and will be forced to pull the plug and give all the rights to Sony.

 

[Patrick77]

Endgame will be failure if there is a single human being or cat on this earth who declines to buy a ticket, and even if that works out, we will have to wait on the returns from the Kree Empire and intergalactic territories to see if the box office can truly be considered a success.

Or the 2nd intergalactic weekend, I should say. That's the only way to really know.

Must be all those dang bribes to critics and subsidies for tickets that have broken the bank.

The Kree are pissed off with Feige right now over an unpaid gambling debt, so Disney can't rely on them to fluff their figures in Disney's favour. Dangerous times.
